Chapter 836: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

I don't know when, Mrs. Sun retracted her momentum, walked up to Sun Deng and stood still, held the long sword upside down, and handed it to Sun Deng.

Sun Deng raised his head and looked at Mrs. Sun puzzled: "Auntie? ”

Mrs. Sun had just finished practicing the sword, her body was a little hot, her cheeks were flushed, and the heat of body fragrance came to her face. "Pick up the sword and fight the big tiger."

Sun Deng glanced at Sun Luban, who was still unsatisfied and eager to try, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Auntie, I'm not her opponent, you better spare me." ”

"Even the big tiger doesn't dare to face it, do you still want to face Wei Ba?" Mrs. Sun did not move, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became a little more obvious as the corners of her eyes were raised. "Your grandfather, your uncle, and your father are all handsome men who go on horses to kill the enemy, and get off their horses to fight tigers, even a woman like Dahu can carry a knife into battle, as the prince of Wu, but you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you afford to rejuvenate Wu?"

Sun Deng's face was flushed, and he looked at the hilt of the sword that Mrs. Sun handed to him, but he didn't dare to pick it up. He knows his own ability, if he wants him to talk about the scriptures, that's no problem, he can make Sun Luban dizzy, but when it comes to martial arts, Sun Luban can also beat him to the point that his nose is blue and his eyes are swollen. This is another woman who doesn't know the severity, if she misses, she will be unlucky.

Seeing that Sun Deng did not move, Mrs. Sun nodded and withdrew her sword, but there was a little more relief in her eyes.

"You know that your martial arts are not high, you are not the opponent of the big tiger, and you did not reluctantly respond to the battle for the sake of a little fame, which shows that you still have self-knowledge. In this case, Weishenme can't use this self-knowledge in state affairs? ”

Sun Deng's heart moved.

"The sailor is gone. The Yangtze River fell into the hands of Wei Ba, and Wu was already weak. Instead of trying his best to compete with Wei Ba, it is better to bow to the wind, adapt to the situation, and maybe be able to defend one state and one county, so as to succeed the Sun family's temple. My grandson's family was originally a poor family in Wu County, and the father, son and brothers have struggled for forty years, even if they can't divide the world into three parts, they can keep a prince and pass it on to their descendants. It is also a great blessing. Why be greedy and take the blame for your own lack of greed? ”

Mrs. Sun said, glanced at Sun Deng deeply, and turned to leave. Sun Luban looked at Sun Deng in disappointment. Angry, he twisted his head away. He followed Mrs. Sun into the inner room.

Sun Deng stood in the middle of the court for a long time. He sighed to himself and turned to leave. He understood what Mrs. Sun meant, but he was a little unwilling. More importantly, he knew that his father, Sun Quan, would not be reconciled, and his aunt's wish had no possibility of coming true.

What am I going to do? Sun Deng advanced and retreated. Do you cooperate with your father and work together, knowing that he can't do it, or do you listen to your aunt's advice, adapt to the situation, and obey the weak and defend the female?

Sun Deng returned to the palace in Chengdu in a trance, but saw a small car parked at the door. The car was very ordinary, and if it hadn't stopped at the door of the palace, Sun Deng wouldn't have noticed him at all. He has been in Chengdu for so long, but he has been in contact with some people, but this kind of ordinary car is rare. There are car officials outside Chengdu, and the chariots and horses of the ministers of Shu Han have always been more elegant.

Sun Deng entered the mansion, but he didn't see any guests in the hall, and he was even more strange. He is not in the mansion, what kind of guests can enter the inner courtyard? He quickened his pace and came to the inner courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a cry. Sun Deng was taken aback, walked quickly to the hall, and couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene in front of him.

The crown princess Zhou and a plainly dressed middle-aged woman hugged their heads and cried, and next to them stood a young man with red eyes, who was Zhou Yin, who had been missing for a long time. Sun Deng glanced at the middle-aged woman carefully, and from the side of her face, he knew who this person was.

Sun Deng was stunned, his mind blank. How could Zhou Yu's wife Qiao Shi appear in Chengdu, and how could the missing Zhou Yin appear here?

……

Li Yan has been proud recently.

Since learning the news that Zhuge Liang was seriously ill, Li Yan convened his cronies many times to discuss, and Zuihou gave him a suggestion to recruit talents in the territory of Wu in the name of the imperial court to serve the Shu Han court.

First of all, recruiting talents from the Wu State in the name of the imperial court was a good opportunity for Li Yan to cultivate his strength and increase his prestige. Just like when Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if Li Yan could absorb a large number of talents into his general's mansion, he could enrich his liliang, improve his prestige, and finally establish a tyranny like Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion. Zhuge Liang once did this, making the Prime Minister's Mansion a tyrant above the imperial court, but now he is in Guanzhong, beyond the reach of the whip, and is dying, such a good opportunity can only be left to Li Yan.

Second, the recruitment of talents from the state of Wu could further weaken the foundation of Sun Quan's rule. In order to control the power in his own hands, Sun Quan has been suppressing the Jiangdong family. The Jiangdong family has long been dissatisfied with him, but there is no way out, so they have to swallow their anger. Now the situation is different, Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of Wu State, and it is even more Jiangdong of the Han Dynasty, they left Jiangdong and went to serve in other places, and Sun Quan couldn't stop it, why didn't they do it. Without the support of the Jiangdong family, how long can Sun Quan support it?

If Wei Balai did not leave Yuzhang and forcibly occupied the Yangtze River waterway, mainly because of the military and economic blackmail against Wu, then the recruitment of Jiangdong talents into the government is to draw Sun Quan's salary from the bottom of the kettle. Once this plan is successfully implemented, Sun Quan will never be able to recover his vitality, and can only bow down to his orders.

zuihou, recruit a large number of foreign talents to enter the Shu Han court, and can also warn those who are waiting. Even if the General's Mansion has indisputably overwhelmed the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are still quite a few people who either have Zhuge Liang in their hearts, or are not optimistic about Li Yan, maintain a wait-and-see attitude, and refuse to clearly attach themselves to Li Yan. Now that Li Yan wants to recruit Jiangdong people to join the government and compete for the official title, can they still be so calm? When a large number of official positions are awarded to the people of Jiangdong, it will be too late for them to regret it.

In addition to these superficial benefits, this is also a clever plan to continue to put pressure on Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's health was not good, and when he heard the news, he was afraid that he would not be able to recuperate with peace of mind. The heavy psychological burden, the analysis and countermeasures of the situation, and the hard work will inevitably lead to the further deterioration of his condition, which is very beneficial to get rid of this strong opponent as soon as possible.

This is a clever plan to kill four birds with one stone, Li Yan even called out the clever plan when he heard it, and at the same time was glad that Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Ma Jian in the first place, otherwise, how could he get such a clever think tank as Ma Yan. If Ma Tan was still by Zhuge Liang's side now, he wouldn't have any chance at all, and Wei Ba might not be Zhuge Liang's opponent.

Li Yan accepted Ma Yan's suggestion and quickly implemented it, sending a document to Li Feng, Meng Da and Wei Ba, asking them to recommend Jiangdong people to join the office. Such a big fanfare is not only to increase the pressure on Sun Quan, but also a reward for Li Feng and the others. According to the unwritten habits of the Han Dynasty, the people recommended by them will be grateful to them for the rest of their lives, and may even become their subordinates, which is a great opportunity to cultivate their own shili. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yan could quietly use the power in his hands to increase Li Feng's strength as much as possible.

Through the court discussion, this suggestion has become a resolution of the imperial court, and the official document was sent to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and the people of Jiangdong have not been affected, but Chengdu has been full of rumors. Those who waited and watched couldn't sit still in the first place, everyone knew that the official position was limited, and if a Jiangdong person came, they would have one less chance. If they don't take advantage of the fact that the Jiangdong people have not yet arrived, they will most likely have nothing.

As a result, the General's Mansion began to be lively, and the door was like a city, ushering in the send-off. In contrast, the Prime Minister's Mansion is becoming deserted, and many people begin to keep their distance from the Prime Minister's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, so as not to misunderstand the general.

Li Yan was busy and happy.

Soon, he had another surprise.

Wei Ba wrote a letter, asking the imperial court to send an envoy to Liaodong to persuade Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong to enter the court, open up a new battlefield in Cao Wei's rear, and further squeeze Cao Wei's living space. In order to make Gongsun Yuan obey the king's orders, Wei Ba formulated a strategy of combining grace and power. On the one hand, he asked the imperial court to crown Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan to lure him into the court, and on the other hand, he asked the imperial court to issue an edict to jointly form a naval division by the Wu State Water Division and the Jiaozhou Water Division, so as to prepare for the expedition to Liaodong, so that Gongsun Yuan would be conquered when he refused to comply with the mandate of heaven and forcibly take Liaodong.

As soon as Wei Ba's letter was announced, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves in the imperial court. There are those who are against, and there are those who are in favor.

Those who oppose it say that Wei Ba is a reckless soldier, the Central Plains has not yet been pacified, and he wants to go on an expedition to Liaodong, regardless of the people's livelihood, and does not know the overall situation, because Wei Ba is young and blind, and he just made a little merit and got carried away. As for the statement that Sun Yuan is the king of Yan, it is even more nonsense. Since Emperor Gao, the Han Dynasty has a different surname and cannot be crowned king, Cao Cao's different surname is crowned king, zuihou caused Cao Pi to usurp the Han, and today is uneasy, Yin Jian is not far away, how can he still crown Gongsun Yuan as the king.

Those who support it ridiculed each other and praised Wei Ba for his foresight, worthy of being the most talented general in my Han Dynasty. Liaodong is far away in the northeast, but horse-producing, after recovering Liangzhou, Youzhou has become one of Cao Wei's important horse-producing areas, if you can control Liaodong, and then control Youzhou, then Cao Wei's belly and back to the enemy, there is not much death.

As for the statement that a different surname cannot be crowned a king, it is even more pedantic. This time, that time, cannot be generalized. According to what you say, what about King Wu? Do you want to demote him to the Marquis of Wu? If Gongsun Yuan is crowned king, Liaodong can be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, so why not? By inference, if Cao Rui is willing to go to the emperor and claim to the Han Dynasty, even if he retains the title of King of Wei, why not?

The court was in full swing, and Li Yan was secretly happy in his heart. Wei Ba's suggestion came at the right time, on the grounds that Sun Yuan was the king of Yan, to test the attitude of the ministers towards the king with a different surname, which was what he wanted to do, and it was probably Wei Ba's original intention. If public opinion does not oppose the king with a different surname, then he and Wei Ba may be crowned king. If public opinion strongly opposes the feudal king, then the next step can be to discuss cutting the feudal domain, demoting King Sun Quan of Wu to Marquis of Wu, and handing over a large area of land in Jiangdong.

Li Yan was hidden behind the scenes, quietly paying attention to and guiding this controversy, and at the same time, he refused to let Zhuge Liang live in peace, and sent people to write these diametrically opposed opinions into a newspaper, and sent them to Chang'an as soon as possible, asking the prime minister to decide. This is a very tricky problem, and he believes that this problem can make Zhuge Liang die a few days early.

Zhuge is not dead, I am uneasy...... (To be continued......)
